Abstract
Description
-
- It is desirable to know when a network promotion is being viewed so that the viewer might be presented with an option to record the program at some future time. TiVo tags are added into the promotion that indicate the date, time, and channel when the program airs. Active promos are described in further detail below.
- A common problem is the baseball game overrun problem. VCRs and Digital Video Recorders (DVR) cut off the end of the baseball game whenever the game runs over the advertised time slot. A TiVo tag is sent in the video stream indicating that the recording needs to continue. A TiVo tag is also sent telling the system to stop the recording because the game has ended.
- Boxing matches often end abruptly, causing VCRs and DVRs to record fill-in programs for the rest of the reserved time period. A TiVo tag is sent to indicate that the program has ended, telling the system to stop the recording.
- Referring to
FIG. 19 , advertisements are tagged so a locally or remotely stored advertisement might be shown instead of a national or out of the area advertisement. Within thevideo stream 1901, the program segment 1902 (commercial or other program segment) to be overlaid is tagged using techniques such as the TVTAG system described above. The TiVo tags tell theinvention 1905 the start and end points of theold program segment 1902. Asingle tag 1903 can be added that tells theinvention 1905 the duration of theold program segment 1902 or a tag is added at thebeginning 1903 and end 1904 of the old program segment to indicate the start and end of thesegment 1902. When the TiVo tag is detected, theinvention 1905 finds thenew program segment 1906 and simply plays it back in place of theold program segment 1902, reverting to theoriginal program 1901 when playback is completed. Theviewer 1907 never notices the transition.
-
- 1) The
system 1905 can continue to cache the original program, so if theviewer 1907 rewinds theprogram 1901 and plays it again, he sees the overlaid segment; - 2) The
old program segment 1902 is replaced in the cache too, so the viewer never sees the overlaid segment; or - 3) The system caches the
original segment 1902 and reinterprets the tags on playback. However, without intelligent tag prefetching, this only works correctly if the viewer backs up far enough so the system sees the first tag in the overlaid segment.- This problem is solved by adding the length of the old program segment to the
start 1903 and end 1904 tag. Another approach is to match tags so that thestart tag 1903 identifies theend tag 1904 to the system. Thesystem 1905 knows that it should be looking for another tag when it fast forwards or rewinds over one of the tags. The pair oftags system 1905 can then search ahead or behind for the matching tag and replace the old program. There is a limit to the amount of time or length of frames that the system can conduct the prefetch. This can be included in the tag or standardized. Including the limit in the tag is the most flexible approach.
- This problem is solved by adding the length of the old program segment to the
- 1) The
-
- The design provides for a clear separation of mechanism and policy.
- Internally, tags are viewed as abstract events which trigger policy modules. Mapping of received tag information to these internal abstractions is the responsibility of the source pipeline object.
- Abstract tags are stored in the PesBuf stream as if they were just another segment. This allows the handling of arbitrary sized tags with precise timing information. It also allows tags to persist as part of recorded programs, so that proper actions are taken no matter when the program is viewed.
- Tags may update information about the current program, future programs, etc. This information is preserved for recorded programs.
- Tags can be logged as they pass through the system. It also possible to upload this information. It may not be necessary to preserve all information associated with a tag.
- Tags can be generated based on separate timelines. For example, using a network station log to generate tags based on time and network being viewed. Time-based tags are preserved in recorded streams.
Time-Based Tags
-
- Within the EDS field.
- Implicitly using the CC field.
- Modulated onto the VBI, perhaps using the ATVEF specification.
- Time Based
-
- In-band, using TiVo Tagging Technology.
- MPEG2 Private data channel.
- MPEG2 stream features (frame boundaries, etc.).
- Time-based tags.
-
- Whenever the input source is changed or a new showing starts, a copy is made of the showing object, and all further operations in the pipeline work off this copy.
- Update tags are reception tags; if permitted by policy, the copied showing object is updated.
- If the current showing is to be recorded, the copy of the showing object is saved with it, so that the saved program has the proper information saved with it.
- The original showing object is not modified by this process.
- The recorder must be cognizant of changes to the showing object, so that it doesn't, for instance, cut off the baseball game early.
Tag Interpretation vs. Tag State Machine
-
- Viewer visible actions (may include interaction).
- Meta-information about the stream (channel, time, duration, etc.).
- TiVo control tags.
-
- The information refers to some showing already resident in the database. The database object is updated as appropriate.
- The information refers to a non-existent showing. A new showing object is created and initialized from the tag.
